Wurlitzer Style 150 Rolls
By Jack M. Conway
Hi, I am new to the group but am already hooked. I would like to ask for your help on a project I have been working on for about ten years.
I have for many years been trying to compile a complete listing of all Wurlitzer Military Band Organ Style 150 Rolls. This listing contains the a roll number index, label information, and a tune list arranged alphabetically by tune number.
The information for this list has come from many sources including: Roll or Box Labels from existing rolls, Ray Siou, Matthew Caulfield, Richard J. Howe (Wurlitzer Roll Catalogues), TRT Manufacturing Catalogue (Ralph Tussing), Play-Rite Catalogue (John and William Malone), Player Piano Centre Catalogue (Doyle Lane), Tom Wurdeman, Richard L. Bowker, Donald H. Smith, Doug Hershberger, John Leonard, David E. Stumpf, William H. Kromer, William J. Luca, and Dan Wilke. I hope that I have not forgotten anyone that has been kind enough to help with this listing.
Mike Grant has compiled an excellent list of Wurlitzer 125 rolls and Gary Watkins has compiled an excellent list of Wurlitzer 165 rolls. I believe that all of us have received much help from Matthew Caulfield. I Would like to make my list as good and complete as Mike Grant's and Gary Watkins'.
I would like to correspond with anyone who has Wurlitzer 150 rolls, Wurlitzer Catalogues, or roll lists. I would like them to send a list to me of the roll numbers that they have information about. If they have rolls that I am missing information from I would contact them and ask for a copy of that information. I would be willing to pay copying and mailing costs. I would like to have copies of original roll labels, catalogues, or roll advertising to verify information in the list.
I have listings for 428 rolls from the 100xx, 102xx, 103xx, 130xx, 131xx, 132xx, 133xx, 134xx, 144xx, 145xx, and unnumbered series. I also have rolls that have not been identified.
Thanks,
